MCP Server OAuth Authentication Skill

This skill teaches agents how to handle OAuth authentication for MCP servers that require user authorization before use.

Overview

When connecting to an MCP server, the platform may detect that OAuth authentication is required. This skill describes how to interpret the platform's response and guide the user through authentication.

This skill provides two approaches:

1. Platform-Integrated Flow - For platforms (like agent-skills-workbench) that handle OAuth internally
2. Portable Script Flow - For any agent platform using the bundled Node.js scripts
